Apple Watch Series 4 Destroys Older Models in Speed Test!

The Apple Watch Series 4, launched last week, features a new dual-core S4 chip that’s significantly faster than the S3 chip in the Series 3, and, of course, the chips used in older Apple Watch models.

We did a side-by-side comparison of the Apple Watch Series 4 to the original Apple Watch, the Series 1 models, the Series 2 models, and the Apple Watch Series 3 to see how far the Apple Watch has come since it was first introduced in 2015.

i have an S2. I'm definitely going to upgrade to the 4. my biggest issue is when i receive a text, and i am responding, the watch interrupts me responding when another notification is incoming. GRINDS MY GEARS. how can i fix that?

Had a Series 1 and preordered the series 4 so I have it about two weeks now. For me, the upgrade was incredible and a jump forward by everything you can think of. In that matter I would definitively recommend upgrading when you are in a comparable situation.

However, Apple Watch Series 4 does NOT destroy older models in DELIVERY time. Apple stores in my area still don't have them, yet I placed an order in the store on the opening Friday morning. (The charger for my Xs Max is also backordered.)
